Great if you want to get away from it all!

Great property with everything you could want for a break away from it all. Don’t underestimate how remote this place is, though. There’s nothing - shop, restaurant, etc (that we found, anyway) - within walking distance so a car is essential. The plus side of that, of course, is wonderful peace and quiet and beautiful scenery. Sitting on the balcony with a glass of something chilled, listening to the birds and looking out over the valley is very pleasant indeed. Garden area just needed a bit of tidying and the pool water level was low while we were there, but for us it wasn’t a problem and I’m sure Tom and Lynn (who were going there the week after we left) will have sorted all that out - they’re really great owners and communicated with us via WhatsApp while we were there. If you’re looking for a great place to get away from it all, book with confidence.

Pretty, peaceful and remote

Charming property set into the rocks on the hillside. We enjoyed the pool very much and never tired of the exceptional view. The location is peaceful, tranquil and remote; do stock up on supplies on your way up to the house. The village is quiet and friendly. This is a fantastic place to “get away from it all”. Note that there are 3 bedrooms downstairs and 1 bedroom upstairs. Thanks Tom and Lynn for a lovely stay!

Super hilltop property in a calm and beautiful part of the Corbieres

Montgaillard suited us perfectly: we wanted to walk, cycle, spend time enjoying the varied natural beauty of the area ... and its vineyards! The property is extremely well equipped indoors and outdoors. The views are stunning, and the outdoor space has been really well used to make the most of them. There was nothing missing that we wished we had (that is not true of all rental properties!) The hosts have gone to great lengths to provide information about everything interesting in the area so that you can get the most out of your stay. The place looks great in the photos and the reality doesn't disappoint. Montgaillard is remote - we knew about that and knew we wouldn't be able to (for example) walk to shops or a restaurant. We loved our stay.

We had to wait 2 years for this holiday but it was well worth the wait!

Absolutely stunning location and a wonderful villa with superb outside space. The best we've been to yet and we 've been travelling to Europe for summer holidays for 11 years

Repos à Montgaillard

Nous y avons séjourné seulement une semaine malheureusement qui est passée trop vite! Nous sommes arrivés très tard le soir mais aucun problème les clés étaient dans un boîtier à code très pratique. La maison était propre et très agréable. Nous nous sommes vraiment reposés, c’est extrêmement calme il n’y que la nature autour de vous, c’est magnifique!!! La piscine est superbe et la vue je ne trouve pas les mots… On le referait sans hésiter…
